Over the weekend, SI.com's John Heyman reported that the Mets had upped their original offer to FA lefty Oliver Perez. The exact offer is not known, but it has been established that the organization would like to get a deal done this week. Should a deal not get established with Perez (whom Minaya desperately wants), only then will they make serious offers to their other candidates.I assume the Mets have extended something in the range of 4 years, $36 million with incentives. Should Boras balk at this offer, I hope the organization is finally going to walk away, and put the offers out there for Ben Sheets and John Garland. There needs to be a timeline on Perez's offer too, as Ben Sheets is out having steak dinners with Jon Daniels. Should Sheets sign elsewhere before they move from Ollie, Minaya loses all leverage, and will get stuck with a bum contract.
